I am always amazed at how you can get these fenders looking really nice. I have learned a lot from watching your videos. You have a great collection of vehicles there. I like that Malibu you use as a daily. It has a nice style to it and it's comfortable to ride in. Take care and I will see you on the next one.
It's always a pleasure when your videos pop up. I learn so much. It's a wet and crappy day here or as we like to call it "April". The hounds are having their afternoon nap and I'm higher than Dolly Parton's hair working on stainless steel trim on the coffee table like you taught me. It's a mighty fine day. Thank you for your time.
Kyle you did an amazing job with working out that oil can in the skirt. And the ridges from the hood hitting down on the fender and you smoothed them out, now the fender looks like new. You are a true craftsman and it shows in the quality of your work. Can’t wait for the next video. Later
Results = Planning x Time x Talent x Tenacity. Kyle, you have an abundance of them all and it is such a pleasure to watch you work. I envy the skills and understanding that you possess, as you go about your work.
36 is also the last year of the wood frame interior. Also there was a high cab and a low cab. My father had one and I remember riding in it in the 50's. Another extraneous fact was the you could order the 1 1/2 trucks with an Oldsmobile engine. It had a higher compression ratio with more horsepower.
An amazing job as usual. I look forward to your videos, they inspire me to get an old spare part out and try working out some small spots. I've got a long way to go ! Also you have some very interesting back ground music.
My fluffy cat completely agrees with Allen Anyway, a fake will it run would be awesome. Find some beat up 100 year rust bucket that clearly won't ever run, and drive an obviously different car out of the stream bed or briar patch you found it in 😂
That fender is gorgeous compared to what i just fixed. Mangled 1929 rear Chevy car fenders. Widened them , and made them into truck fenders. Chunks missing, surface like waffles, bad old gas welds, and the car sat under pine trees since about 1965. Wish i could send you pictures. My work is nowhere near as good as yours, but it`s coming along, only been doing this for 2 years. Used your bondo fix to make a patch panel, it works, but couldn’t wait for this video, welded in my patches last week, turned out good. Still hours of work left though. Lots of hammer and dolly stuff
That was a nice bit of cat content at the end to relieve the tension built up after watching such an intense video. If it weren't for Allen you'd most likely have lost you mind a long time ago. Great stuff, thanks.
here i’ve been waiting for a year to see the repair of the fender with the “homesmashed” piece of metal, and finally we get to see the fender reappear only for it get smashed some more. and no welding in the piece, just a tease. i’m not at peace. take my hand and give it a squeeze, and promise me that in the next video it’ll be installed with a breeze., sorry, i stumbled a bit there, awesome work as per usual mate!
Amazing how my brother would do fender straightening with an acetylene torch. I never could, but I sure like watching an expert and listening to great music. Also nice of you to let your cat give his two cents, too. 🙂
This video really helps me with my 36 chevy low cab truck,it’s just like the one your working on . I would love to see more on it , selfishly wanting more tips for mine . Again thanks for your skillful work on timeless steel . Always appreciated.
I find your videos very therapeutic. Not sure what that means, but I sure learned a lot about true patience from you. I thought I was pretty patient - actually patient to a fault. Many years ago, as a young man, I married a woman that turned out to be quite spoiled. I tried to set a good example for her by being thrifty and working hard. But she seemed to think her job was spending all the money I made. I knew I was in trouble during the first year, but I hung in there for 12 more years. I kept hoping things would change and get better. Anyways, it never did get better, but it took me something like 2-1/2 years to get that over with. But as I see it, you are even more patient. And I want to learn more by watching your videos. Maybe that's what therapeutic means.....
Longest will it start video EVER! The rumor is that Mr. File is kind of a bastard.... that's just what I've heard. Can't wait for things to get underway on the old blue Chevy. Your distaste for mechanical work goes nicely with my enjoyment of watching people suffer...(it's an old man thing) Cheers from your loyal viewer in a shed.
Bad news is I got distracted again and still haven't started on the blue car. Good news is that the next episode is 90% mechanical work and 30% more suffering...Plus, I accidentally wreck some stuff and have a puppet show!
I’m working on a nasty 1936 Austin 12 truck, the front wings (fenders) are identical shape even the edge moulding and the bit under the grille is the same. Much much rustier though.
Nice work Kyle! I have worked in stamping shops in Ontario and when you are done or close to done the pieces look very similar to how parts look like coming off of a die. Some metals they used in the shops were very lightly textured to give more strength to the parts (that's was what I was told) not smooth metal. Thank you for sharing!!
